Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (Optional)
• 2 tablespoons margarine
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 ½ cups skim milk

• 3 turkey sausage links, casings removed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Soak matzo farfel in a small bowl of water for a few minutes. Drain, squeezing out excess moisture. Return to the bowl.

Step 3

Melt margarine in a microwave-safe bowl, 20 to 30 seconds. Add to the matzo farfel; mix together and press into a greased round baking dish.

Step 4

Bake crust in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool. Keep oven on.

Step 5

Meanwhile, whisk eggs together in a large bowl. Mix in Cheddar cheese, milk, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large saute pan. Cook and stir turkey sausage until crumbled, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in spinach until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold turkey-spinach mixture into the egg mixture. Pour into the prepared crust. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any overflow or spills.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until center is set, about 50 minutes.
